A knees-up flash photograph of ABNiamh, a fictional 20-year-old Irish Traveller woman outside a lavish birthday party in a hired English function hall, with giant illuminated numerals, silk flowers and an excessive pink balloon arch in a teal floral-lace mini with a lined bodice, bell cuffs and scalloped collar. One hand carries a silver clutch, a friend is blurred at the edge and a direct flash freezes her spontaneous reaction. Her dark-brown hair is in an extravagantly oversized high curly ponytail, with heavily teased roots and glossy barrel curls falling to her upper back. She has just recognised someone arriving: a broad delighted smile, raised brows, visible upper teeth and bright creases at the outer corners of her eyes. Her going-out makeup is heavy and visibly applied: sharply pencilled dark brows, very thick strip lashes, frosty pale eyeshadow, black eyeliner, warm blush and glossy pink lips over darker lip liner, with natural skin texture still visible.
